A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
The sugar maple (also called hard or rock maple) tree is known for its spectacular red, orange, and yellow fall colors. Native to the northeastern United States, the sugar maple is well known as the source of maple syrup and maple wood for furniture. It is a short-trunked, large, spreading tree that can reach heights of 50 to 70 feet or more.
